HS-A02
HS-A02
The world's only fully ceramic headshell. Light and incredibly strong: twice as rigid as the next best headshell that we measured! Includes silver litz wires, all the hardware. Customers say, "HS-A02 is simply the best headshell I have used. An essential audio component if you are serious."
Korf Audio HS-A02 headshell is one of The Absolute Sound's "2024 Recommended Products Under $1,000"!
TAS's Tom Martin said: "If you're using a standard removable head shell in your tone arm, this would seem to be the one to beat. ... The Korf has good mechanical rigidity measurements, we like the sound of it, and it's reasonably priced at $215 or thereabouts."

There's a lot to explore in the Blog Archives! Here are some of the most read articles:
From stamped aluminium sheet to exotic ceramics, from the simplest to clockwork-complex—the variety of headshells is bewildering. But do they really differ so much?
Many analogue enthusiasts believe that the cartridge's compliance should be precisely matched with the tonearm's effective mass. But what if we measure what happens when there's a supposed mismatch? Is there a tracking-busting low frequency resonance?
In a three-part series, we explore the "common knowledge" around the azimuth adjustment. Is it based on solid fact, or is it simply a carryover of misapplied research and questionable practices?
